Team News – Shooting Stars

Our Head Coach is expected to name a competitive lineup despite a few injury concerns within the squad.

Mustapha Lawal is sidelined with a knock, while Samuel Okon continues his rehabilitation. Ganiyu Wasiu continues his progress toward full match fitness.

Tijani Kabir is available again after serving his card suspension, while Ismail Ayodele also returns after recovering from a knock.

In midfield, Stephen Amos, Alex Aghahowa, and Tunde Azeez are all available to anchor proceedings, offering composure and control in the centre of the park. Namapele James will also be pushing for a place in the starting lineup.

Joshua Akpan provides an option in wide attacking areas to stretch the opposition, while Sodiq Ibrahim, Lucky Emmanuel, and Qamar Adegoke are all in contention to spearhead the attack. Emmanuel Ohiobe and Alade Balogun remain available as we look to maintain attacking sharpness.

Team News – Rivers United

Rivers United are expected to remain compact and organised while looking to exploit opportunities in transition. Wasiu Falolu could play an important role in midfield, with Friday Ubong and Aniekeme Okon providing width, while Chijioke Mbaoma is likely to lead the line in attack.

Final Outlook

With both teams targeting valuable points, this fixture promises to be another compelling NPFL contest. We will aim to maximise home advantage and the backing of the Adamasingba faithful, while Rivers United will rely on structure and discipline to challenge us.

Ultimately, composure, defensive organisation, and clinical finishing could prove decisive as both sides battle for supremacy in Ibadan.
